I was forced to start the second round because I was raised in poverty

Chapter 357 Aunt Long
The receptionist was very familiar with the group's hierarchical system.

Apart from the core business departments, where the starting position is K6 specialist, other ordinary departments all start from K5 and work their way up.

Starting from K5, it can go all the way up to levels like K22 and K23.

The span is more than a dozen levels.

For most people, reaching K9 or K10 is roughly the peak of their career; going further after that is incredibly difficult.

Abilities, personality, intelligence, values, and ways of doing things all need to be examined.

There was a rumor circulating recently that Long Ruoli's level was either K22 or K23.

This level is quite terrifying; their strength ranks among the top on a global scale, and they are capable of standing alone within the group.

The higher the rank number, the higher the position in the group, the greater the power the group assigns to them, and the greater their subjective authority and scope of control.

It is said that above K23, there are also K1, K2, and K3.

And this is the person standing in front of her at this moment.

Group K2 represents too many things.

The receptionist didn't dare to be negligent and immediately took Su Sheng to see Long Ruoli.

Su Sheng originally did not want to show his identification, as he felt it was too conspicuous.

But since I don't seem to have shown my credentials, I won't be able to see Long Ruoli today.

soon.

Su Sheng was taken to Long Ruoli's office.

"Mr. Long, this gentleman wishes to see you."

Long Ruoli was slightly surprised when she saw Su Sheng, and immediately signaled to the receptionist that she could leave.

"Aunt Long".

Su Sheng took the initiative to greet Long Ruoli.

Long Ruoli was calm yet curious. She got up and walked towards Su Sheng.

"Xiao Sheng, what brings you here?"

"Let Auntie take a look first."

Long Ruoli moved closer to Su Sheng, placing one hand on his shoulder and the other hand reaching towards his face, gently lifting his chin.

"Thin."

"But he's even more handsome now."

"Please sit down, please sit down. Auntie will make you some tea."

Su Sheng remained calm in the face of Long Ruoli's 'concern', without any emotional fluctuation in his heart.

"Why did you suddenly come to Macau without calling me beforehand?"

Su Sheng only found out that Long Ruoli was in Macau yesterday after checking the group's transfer order.

Moreover, he had called Long Ruoli before coming, but Long Ruoli did not answer.

Su Sheng had no choice but to pay a visit in person.

"Yes, I just wanted to come and see Auntie."

"Okay, as long as nothing else happens."

Are you alright?

He's actually fine, but it seems like the group has had quite a few problems lately?
The group suddenly launched a crackdown on a family business that had been operating in Australia for decades, which caused quite a stir.

Not only was the commotion significant, but the security measures were also very effective.

Outside of Australia, there wasn't even a whisper of it.

It seems that no one in the group knew about what had happened in Australia.

If Su Sheng hadn't flown to Australia for the auction and hadn't used his K2 privileges to investigate after realizing something was amiss, he would have had no idea about this.

However, he only found out about the encirclement and suppression activities, and he is still unaware of other more specific details.

So what exactly happened to the group?

Even he didn't hear a single word?
Su Sheng came here today to probe his aunt's intentions.

After chatting with Long Ruoli for a few minutes, he inquired about the matter.

"Aunt Long, is there anything you want to tell me?"

Su Sheng's words alerted Long Ruoli.

However, she didn't stop fiddling with the tea set; instead, she showed an even more kind smile and asked, "So, Xiao Sheng, what do you want to know?"

Is Uncle Bai in Australia?

"He's not in now."

"Not here?"

"Yeah, I was there a few days ago, but now it seems like I'm in New Zealand, huh?"

"Then why were the Ma family targeted for annihilation? Who gave the order?"

"Well... your dad probably doesn't want you to know."

Su Sheng had already thought about it.

Besides President Su, there is another person who can mobilize such power in a short period of time.

Bai Zihua.

Long Ruoli definitely doesn't have that authority.

The group suddenly launched a crackdown on the Ma family. Bai Zihua had the authority to do so, and Long Ruoli had been temporarily transferred to Macau some time ago.

Mr. Su had a grudge against the Ma family decades ago, but that was decades ago. Why did he suddenly take action against them now when he hasn't done anything to the Ma family all these years?

Therefore, Su Sheng guessed that something had happened to Xiao Cheng on the island of Macau, and that she most likely had a strong conflict with the Ma family.

Otherwise, the group wouldn't be making such a fuss over nothing.

Su Sheng's lips twitched, and he asked softly, slightly puzzled, "Is it him?"

It's very clear who Su Sheng is referring to.

Long Ruoli was equally aware of this.

But instead of answering Su Sheng's question directly, she handed him a cup of tea that she had just brewed, saying, "Be careful, it's hot."

"Xiao Sheng, you can go back after you finish drinking. Brother Tianyan definitely doesn't want you here."

Su Sheng revealed to Long Ruoli: "I received a transfer order from the group yesterday. Old Su wants to transfer me back to Shanghai."

Long Ruoli had already given Su Sheng the order to leave.

But this news still made Long Ruoli frown.

Because Long Ruoli had just flown to Jingzhou yesterday to report on Su Cheng's situation in person, saying that Su Cheng was performing very well in Macau, and subtly trying to get Su Cheng transferred away from Macau to gain more experience elsewhere.

She recommended Shanghai to Su Tianyan.

Shanghai is her "territory".

In Shanghai, Long Ruoli's authority and ability to mobilize resources can be fully utilized.

Su Tianyan finally agreed to Long Ruoli's suggestion, allowing her to make arrangements secretly so that Su Cheng would not become suspicious.

But before Long Ruoli could officially issue a transfer order to Su Cheng, Old Su transferred Su Sheng back to Shanghai as well.

And I haven't even told myself yet.

What type of situation is this?
Su Sheng's transfer back to Shanghai will definitely affect her future actions, and her authority may not be as great as she expected.

Long Ruoli was lost in thought, but her face remained calm as she continued to communicate with Su Sheng in a caring tone.

"Oh, you're being transferred back to Shanghai? What about your project in Germany?"

"Once it's finished, the rest of the structure can be done by others."

"Oh, did Brother Yan say which department you were transferred to the other day?"

"I didn't say that."

"Then I think I understand."

"what do you know?"

Their conversation was suddenly interrupted by a phone call. Long Ruoli glanced at the contact's name, picked up her phone, and walked to the window to answer it.

"Hello? Um... umm... I'm here... okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Long Ruoli sat back down on the sofa.

She proactively told Su Sheng the contents of the phone call: "It was Secretary Liu on the phone, saying that I need to go back to Jingzhou now." "Then I'll go back with Aunt Long, it's been a long time since I've been back."

Before Long Ruoli could react, Su Sheng's phone rang.

It was Secretary Liu who called again.

Su Sheng didn't get up, but instead pressed the answer button and answered the phone in front of Long Ruoli: "Hmm... Oh... Okay... No need to arrange a plane for me, I'm already in the country, umm, okay... It's alright, I'll just book a ticket, okay, goodbye."

Long Ruoli heard the conversation clearly.

Secretary Liu informed the two of them to return to Jingzhou to see Su Tianyan.

Su Sheng only said he was in China, he didn't dare say he was in Australia, let alone that he was with Long Ruoli.

Based on the phone call and the information he had gathered, Long Ruoli had already pieced together a fairly complete picture of the situation.

Su Sheng also figured out a bit of the flavor.

Long Ruoli tentatively asked, "Didn't Brother Tianyan tell you about wanting you to come back a while ago?"

Su Sheng frowned.

He didn't know how Long Ruoli found out about this.

"Guess."

Long Ruoli had previously approached Su Tianyan to apply for a transfer to Macau to help take care of the children. At the time, Su Tianyan mentioned that other people could be transferred over.

Now it seems that there's a 99% chance that this "other person" is Su Sheng.

Su Sheng figured that since Long Ruoli already knew, he might as well talk to her and exchange more information: "Aunt Long, did Old Su want to transfer me to Macau Island a while ago?"

"Hey? Xiao Sheng, you're as smart as ever!"

Su Sheng voiced his suspicions: "Does that mean I should get in touch with him?"

There was no need for Long Ruoli to hide anything; the fact that the two of them received calls from Secretary Liu one after the other already spoke volumes.

But Long Ruoli wasn't sure what Su Tianyan was thinking: "I'm not sure, but it's probably true."

"You should book your flight back. I'm also getting ready to leave. Let's not go back together."

It would be difficult to explain if the two of them went back together.

"Ok, I know."

Su Sheng nodded calmly: "Aunt Long, I have another question. When did you first get to know Xiao Cheng?"

"Xiao Sheng, I can't tell you about this. You can ask Brother Tianyan directly after you get to Jingzhou."

Although the meaning conveyed over the phone was quite clear, Long Ruoli could not reveal any more information before Su Tianyan officially told Su Sheng about these things.

There are some things that should be avoided to prevent suspicion.

"Okay, I understand."

……

……

The last two weeks.

Su Cheng, Zhang Yangwen, and Jiang Shuyue have been handling the Ma family's assets.

The group does not need these assets and prefers cash.

Therefore, assets outside the gaming industry are basically sold at 60% or 70% of their original price, with a cumulative sales amount of approximately 18 billion.

These people in Australia bought assets that previously cost several times or even ten times more at very low prices.

Su Cheng is pure of heart.

A few years from now, the real estate market will experience a downturn, but that will be in the mainland market and will have nothing to do with Macau. The assets on Macau are steadily appreciating in value.

Su Cheng operated with the banking system, cash network, and his own shell companies to take a cut of 15% to 20% of each transaction for these assets.

The amount received will be around 20 billion.

For assets such as hotels and real estate that lack core competitiveness, Su Cheng retained 5% to 10% of the shares through various means.

Su Cheng retained more of the assets such as the docks and fleet, holding approximately 15% of the equity.

The department store holds a larger stake, approximately 49%.

They have no control, but can enjoy half of the profits every year.

Compared to a one-time buyout, Su Cheng prefers a stable cash flow.

Cash plus equity is his best option.

The gambling industry was worth a total of 27 billion, and Su Cheng sold it at a 60% discount through a subcontracting model, with a transaction price of 162 billion.

Su Cheng didn't openly touch the money, but she still took a cut from every transaction, and this kickback amounted to about 13 billion.

The Ma family's personal assets are around 22 billion yuan. They sold the property at 70% of the market price, and the transaction price was 14 billion yuan.

Su Cheng takes a 5% cut from each transaction, netting 10 billion yuan.

In total, the benefits he brought to the group amounted to 680 billion.

It can't be said that it brought benefits to the group. Su Cheng only helped to confiscate the family property. Basically, apart from the three of them, it was all the agents who helped sell the products.

Su Cheng is the major agent, while the Yin family below her are the minor agents.

To be precise, this part should be the assets that Su Cheng confiscated for the group.

Su Cheng himself profited 43 billion yuan in cash from this incident: 2 billion + 13 billion + 1 billion = 4.3 billion yuan.

The Ma family's total assets are 800 billion, but he didn't get much of it; at most, it was only 5%.

The key point is equity.

Su Cheng mainly retained equity in department stores, shipping fleets, air transport, and docks.

This is a rare, high-quality cash cow.

It can not only generate continuous profits, but also directly convert large amounts of accounts receivable or inventory into cash that Su Cheng can allocate.

In particular, equity in ports, shipping fleets, logistics, and air transport is one of the lifelines of the modern economy.

In Macau, it holds an unshakeable market position second only to casinos.

The capital market will regard such equity as core blue-chip stocks, which are the most ideal allocation targets for long-term investors such as pension funds and sovereign wealth funds.

Extremely high credit rating and extremely low financing costs.

Domestically, it will be rated as a high-quality company that can be listed on the main board at any time.

It has international value in attracting large international private equity funds or multinational corporations for mergers and acquisitions.

This is the core reason why Su Cheng retained her shares.

These assets can bring Su Cheng hundreds of millions to several hundred million yuan in assets every year, providing an absolutely stable cash flow for Su Cheng's future development.

Su Cheng also calculated the old man's KPIs.

When he sold assets, he did not forget to include part of the transactions in RK Consulting's performance.

By making full use of the tickets sold through consultations and the funds obtained from the auction house, Su Cheng precisely controlled the performance to just over 10 billion.

When all is said and done.

Su Cheng received a transfer order from headquarters.

He picked up the document from the fax machine's output tray and began to read it carefully.

In light of Mr. Su Cheng's recent outstanding performance, the Group, after comprehensive evaluation, has decided to promote you to...

"what?"

"Did the old man upgrade himself to K11?"

The document instructed Su Cheng to report to the Shanghai headquarters of YH International Consulting within three days.

really.

Just like Daenerys Targaryen said, he was transferred to Shanghai.

The three-and-a-half-month exile is finally over!

Su Cheng took a deep breath and then exhaled through her nose.

But he also had a vague feeling that there was more to this than met the eye.

Daenerys Targaryen hasn't been seen for two weeks. It seems she left Australia about two weeks ago without even telling me.

What Su Cheng found most suspicious was that Daenerys Targaryen was able to inform him in advance that he would be transferred to Shanghai.

Su Cheng felt that apart from herself, very few people could predict the old man's behavior and commands, right?

Is Daenerys Targaryen also involved in this?
suspicious!
